Chapter 98
"Sister, this old lady of yours is really..."
Lin Yunyi became very angry when he mentioned Mrs. Lu. Too shameless!
But he is a junior after all, and his sister is a daughter-in-law in someone else's house. He cannot openly curse in the Lu family, and it would be too disrespectful!
Lin Yunwan just pressed her brother's shoulders and said with a sneer: "She is really not simple."
Lin Yunyi heard some connotations, frowned and asked: "Sister, why is it not simple?"
Lin Yunwan didn't know how to tell her brother.
When she died in the previous life, Mrs. Lu had already passed away, but she was poisoned by the same poison as Ge Baoer!
Poison is not flour, it can be bought easily.
What's more, it's a poison that's hard to detect.
This medicine was probably passed down from generation to generation in the Lu family. It was certainly not the first time that her family had used it, and they had already taken countless lives in their hands!
This old woman who has such vicious methods and regards human life as nothing is really terrifying.
Lin Yunwan came back to her senses and said with a normal expression: "...It's nothing. Older people have more experience and will always have ideas and methods that we can't think of."
When she reached the hanging flower door, it was inconvenient for her, a housewife, to go out again.
Lin Yunyi also took the initiative and said: "Sister, stay here, I will go back first."
Lin Yunwan nodded. Lin Yunyi even came close to Lin Yunwan's ear and whispered: "Sister, I'm relieved of what you told me. I'll wait for you at home."
"Go back quickly."
Lin Yunwan finally patted the snow on her brother's body and watched him go out.
Lu Changgong knew that his uncle was coming, so he had already been waiting in the front yard. He saw Lin Yunyi off in person, and then he continued to study in the front yard.
Lin Yunwan hurried back to Chuisi Hall, with anger on her body, even a bit violent!
The master is a very gentle person and rarely scares people like this.
When Pingye came over to take off her cloak, she asked cautiously: "Grandma, what's wrong? Did the old lady say something rude when Master Yi met the old lady..." that made her angry?
Lin Yunwan closed her eyes and said, "Why is there any need for her to say anything?"
The look the old lady looked at her brother wasn't sinister enough!
Her brother was a twelve-year-old boy, why did the old lady need to see him specially? I'm afraid she's thinking about how to kill her brother too!
She didn't think she was overthinking at all!
They all dared to conspire to kill the mistress of the house. There is nothing cruel that the Lu family can't do!
"Go and call Long Gong for dinner."
Lin Yunwan gave an order and closed her eyes to collect her thoughts.
Lin Yunyi returned to the Lin family in the snow. After telling her mother about her sister's situation, she comforted her mother and then went to the Lin family's ancestral hall.
I offered my father three sticks of incense and kowtowed heavily in front of my father’s ranking.
"Dad, my son is unfilial."
"Originally, a son should inherit his father's ambition, take the imperial examination and become an official like you, become a high-ranking civil servant, and benefit the poor people. But the Lu family has gone too far!"
"If a son can't protect his sister, how can he benefit the people!"
Lin Yunyi swore in front of Taifu Lin's ranking: "Before I become a clean official, I must first be a younger brother who can support my sister!"
He rolled his sleeves and went out, and said to the steward at home: "Prepare the carriage, I will go to Prince Huan's Mansion."
Manager Lin said, "Do you need to bring the eight hundred taels of silver with you?"
Last time, the Lin family returned the ginseng, and Prince Huan's palace also returned the money. However, the century-old ginseng appeared in the prescription given to his wife by Master Li Qi. He thought Lin Yunyi returned the money.
Lin Yunyi shook his head and said, "No need."
If Prince Huan's Mansion wanted silver, it would be too simple, but he knew that Prince Huan must not want silver.
He didn't know why his sister wanted to see King Huan, but he had to do it even if his sister asked him to go up the mountain of swords and go down into the sea of fire.

"Grandma, Master Longgong is here."
Pingye opened the curtain and let the long bow in.
Lin Yunwan said to him: "Long Gong, come and sit down." Huan Pingye and Taoye said to the two girls: "Go out and guard. No one is allowed to come in without my instructions."
Lu Changgong knew that there was something important, so he bowed and sat next to Lin Yunwan.
Lin Yunwan put a cup of tea in front of him, looked at him and said very solemnly: "Long Gong, please do something for mother."
"What's up?"
Lu Changgong listened attentively.
Pingye and Taoye were watching outside. Pingye asked Taoye in a low voice: "Taoer, what do you think grandma wants to say to Master Changgong?"
Young Master Changgong is young, and she always thinks of something she can do.
Taoye whispered: "Grandma never makes mistakes when doing things. Since grandma has given instructions to Master Changgong, it makes sense for grandma. It means that if we can't do it well, Master Changgong must do it."
Pingye nodded and stopped thinking about it. Anyway, she couldn't think of it in her head.
Half an hour later, Lu Changgong came out.
On the same day, two courtyards were tidied up in the inner house, respectively for the two young masters Lu Changgong and Brother Qing.
When moving things, Lu Changgong and Brother Qing took the initiative to talk: "You can't bring the servant into the inner courtyard. Have you picked out the maids around you?"
Brother Qing looked at Lu Changgong in surprise. He didn't react for a moment. He bowed first and then said: "Brother, my mother, who is in charge of the maids, has chosen them for me." Of course, he himself took the initiative to choose a few girls that he liked.
Lu Changgong had one hand behind his back, and the hand behind seemed to be still clenched into a fist.
I don’t know who I learned it from, but even though I am only ten years old, I look like a young scholar who has been studying for many years.
He nodded slightly and said, "From now on, if you and I live far away from each other, brothers will still have to study and play together often."
Why is the eldest brother willing to play with him again?
Brother Qing was very puzzled, but he didn't dare to answer the question. He had not forgotten how Lu Changgong beat his mother when she left the Hou Mansion and went to Zhuangzi!
He responded very respectfully: "The eldest brother said it, and the younger brother has remembered it."
Lu Changgong said, "Well, I'll go over first. By the way, I've prepared housewarming wine for you. Come drink in my yard at night."
What I drank was some fruit wine, so I couldn’t get drunk.
Brother Qing himself also drank with the boys, and he said yes honestly.
After Lu Changgong left, he muttered to the boy: "Why did brother invite me to drink?"
The young man said: "...The eldest young master seems to be talking to his maid. Second young master, why don't you go over and listen secretly?"
This is not what a gentleman would do!
But he is only eight or nine years old, not yet old enough to be a gentleman, right?
Brother Qing followed him to the inner courtyard.
"Eldest Young Master, aren't you close to the Second Young Master? Why do you want to invite him to a housewarming dinner?"
Qianru, the maid chosen by Mama Yuan, followed Lu Changgong and asked.
Lu Changgong said: "Of course I didn't get close to him for no reason. There is something you don't know about."
Qianru smiled: "I just don't know, so I'm asking you, the eldest young master."
Lu Changgong seemed to hesitate for a moment before saying, "I heard from my mother that Brother Qing's biological mother has a great background."
"What's the origin?"
Qianru was extremely curious.
Lu Changgong smiled lightly: "Don't tell others, or I will punish you."
Qianru clasped her fingers and swore: "I will never tell anyone."
Lu Changgong said: "Aunt Ge is the lost legitimate daughter of Duke Xingguo. Unfortunately, the jade pendant that can prove her identity is in the hands of her mother. If mother destroys the jade pendant, she will always be a lowly aunt."
"The legitimate daughter of Duke Xingguo's family has such a noble status. Even if Brother Qing's biological mother turns up, he will be more valuable than his mother. I'd better not offend him first."
Qianru pursed her lips and nodded and said, "Young master, you are considering it."
The two of them walked farther and farther away, Brother Qing hid behind the wall, and he was stunned.
His mother is... the legitimate daughter of Duke Xingguo!
Duke Xingguo's Mansion, this is the grandfather that his mother mentioned to him!
No, he has to tell his mother immediately that his mother has parents and he also has a grandfather! Moreover, my grandfather’s identity is very remarkable and he will definitely be able to support them!
